Exactly. Do you remember during the Clinton years when these same leftist hacks refused to print ANYTHING about Clinton scandals and skullduggery? You are darn right they should be placed on the roasting iron.
Castigating Newsweek isn't the same as "eating our own." Those Bolshevik liars believe the world is superior to America. Let the world have them.
Are there some laymen's terms for your message? :o) I may be way off base here - didn't get my Sunday afternoon power nap.
However where is the muslim, islamic outrage, the protests, the anti-terrorist hatred for the hijacking of this supposed peaceful and loving religion? Why are the koran hijacking terrorist allowed to live among the supposed peaceful islamics.
I would like to hear or witness the peace loving islamics get upset enough to protest, rant and rave, even strike down those that they claim have hijacked their religion.
Pinggggggggggggggg.

I AM SO ANGERED BY THIS I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO SAY! THEY KILLED OUR BOYS, THE NEED TO BE PUNISHED!
THE-THEY
By that I mean -- presenting a national unity, expecting by all diplomatic forces that our Muslim "allies" NOT go well over the line in expressing umbrage at such actions, that they NOT tolerate the culture of hatred and ever-ready riot for whatever scratch of dust that gets in a mullah's eye. We -- America -- are a free nation, a tolerant nation, a respectful nation. We are not vanquishing conquerors. We are Liberators. Yet we can make and will make "mistakes" of all sorts. We try our best to allow all religions their practises and to respect those practises. However we will not and can not tolerate practises of hatred, of grudge-bearing, of constant reckless incitement at every little possible slight.
We hold to account those reponsible of evil acts. And here -- the acts of murder, violence and riot were the acts to which those involved must be held responsible.
No sacred text has a greater worth than even one human life. Each human life is sacred. That is an American princible.
To the mullahs of hate and to the weak-minded in places were hate-America is common theme, yes, they would see it as America eating her own. It's a win-win for them. Our best plan of action, imo, would be to say -- this story is mistaken, but on occassion such things might happen -- yet as distasteful as they are to some, all but the most hateful and violent would turn them into excuses for murder. We and the world can tolerate neither that hatred nor those who act upon it.
UNBLEEPINGBELIEVABLE!!!
Izzy will be hiding his face from the media for a few weeks. I doubt he will be showing up on Hardball. But hey, at least he has a face to hide, not like those killed because of Muslim's reactions to his false story.
I want names .. I want to know who they heck this "senior government official" is
I would like to know who this senior government official is also.
He or she needs to be an ex government official serving time in the big house with the small cells.
I thought Bush was going to get this leaking crap stopped.
It's time to take action against those who use their position like spoiled children to get even with the government that employees them by leaking information.

A footnote on the Newsweek mess
Much more remains to be said on the stunning mess Newsweek has created with its May 9 Koran in the toilet story. Newsweek climbs down from the story today, sort of. Others elsewhere have correctly noted that Evan Thomas's article on the mess reads like "damage control."
Why did Thomas have to collaborate on this article with four Newsweek reporters for additional reporting when the man with the information interested readers most deserve to hear from is Thomas's colleague Michael Isikoff? Isikoff makes a token appearance in paragraph 5 of Thomas's article, like Alfred Hitchcock walking through a scene in one of his own movies.
The observant John Steele Gordon writes to note a point of interest in the text of Thomas's Newsweek article:
Liberal MSM magazine finds marginally credible story that makes the military (and Bush Administration) look bad and rushes into print with it without any consideration of the possible consequences. So what else is new?
What I find most interesting is that Newsweek insists on spelling the name of the holy book of Islam "Qur'an" despite the fact that there has been a perfectly good word for it in use in the English language ("Koran") since 1625. "Qur'an" is a transliteration of the Arabic word for the Koran (although my dictionary says there should be a long vowel mark over the A--but, since I don't speak Arabic, I will have to take its word for it). So using Qur'an instead of Koran is like using "Athina" for "Athens" of "Moskva" for "Moscow." In other words, political correctness run amok.
I think the apostrophe--utterly meaningless in an English-language context--is a particularly nice touch of cultural pandering.
UPDATE: Austin Bay adds: "The press's Abu Ghraib: Newsweek apologizes, after 15 are dead."
Too bad the Stone Age Press doesn't check itself like the Space Age Press does!!
Rule #1 We are NEVER wrong
Rule #2 In the unlikely event that we are...mistaken...see rule #1
Yeah right - Chrissy will probably want to do him on the set with the cameras rolling. He's ecstatic that Spiky's given them another Abu Ghraib.
Michael Isikoff should be stood up before a wall!!Remember,it was he who"spiked"the Lewinsky Story.Only to be broken by Matt Drudge!!!The illustration of Liberal Bias in The Majors is so BLATANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The Clerics gave 3 days to fix and correct this or they will declare a Holy War on the US??
HEY NEWSWEEK YOU JERKS ... ARE YOU PROUD OF WHAT YOU HAVE DONE NOW ????
This is criminal and treason, IMHO.
